This week I attended the Marketing Association’s Digital Day Out. It was a great chance to hear what digital marketing experts think the upcoming trends will be and what we can learn from their campaigns.

It was an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day and consider what might be coming next for marketing.

This week’s Kiwi Ad Envy is truly Kiwi with campaigns from Stand for NZ, NZTA and NZ Post. It also contains some famous faces from Game of Thrones Charles Dance to homegrown Olympian Beatrice Faumuina. Have a look at these three top ads from the past week and vote for your favourite! Read more

As I mentioned in my last post I’ve decided to start a Wellington Marketing Meetup. It’s been a thought I’ve had for a while but was always concerned I wouldn’t be able to sustain it alone. Luckily there’s an awesome marketing community in Wellington so I have a team of helpers signed up to help me bring this idea to life.

To those people who have already offered help, ideas and venues, thank you. You have given me the motivation to get this thing started and I’m sure you’ll help greatly in keeping it going.

If you’re interested in marketing and based in Wellington make sure you sign up to the group. We’re hoping to have the first event in 4-6 weeks so make sure you’re in the loop.
